RE: FallOut 4

That last bar was for 2011 and for a studio that wasn't exactly a heavy hitter (Factor 5 has since closed down). These days, average costs balloon up to the 50 - 60 million mark.
That's the problem which is causing so much stagnation in AAA titles. Also related to the reason why the 500k indie games look and sound shitty, but can take a ton of risks with how the game actually plays.
